A 35-year-old Abbotsford woman was airlifted to hospital Saturday morning after a collision between a train and a truck in Langley. The woman was a flagger with a traffic control firm doing work in the area of the Langley Bypass and Glover Road. Witnesses told police that a flagperson had parked a vehicle immediately on the track. A northbound train approached and the gate arms descended onto the roof of the truck. The woman then ran to the vehicle to move it, but the truck was struck by the train, pushing it approximately 40 metres down the track, where it collided with a BC Hydro transformer box. The woman was extracted from the vehicle and

The train was stopped for some time in the morning as emergency services personnel were on scene, forcing more rail crossings to remain closed for an extended time. The accident closed

Many homeless staying outdoors Only 23 people seek emergency shelter, despite bitter cold Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News
Plunging temperatures have Abbotsford’s Salvation Army worried about its homeless clients, and workers are heading out into the city, checking on people living underneath overpasses and in makeshift camps. During a weekend that was “miserably cold,” in the words of Sally Ann PR director Deb Lowell, only 23 people sought out the warmth of the Salvation Army’s emergency shelter on each of Saturday and Sunday nights. The 2008 homeless count pegged Abbotsford’s homeless population at 235. Lowell said the facilities on Gladys Avenue can normally accommodate 20, and when the province declares an extreme weather emergency, mats are laid out to allow for 20 more. There are 10 more spaces at the Cyrus Centre, and local churches are opened, staffed with vol-
unteers, to house more people as necessary. Still, people remain outside in dangerously cold weather. Last year, after a cold night, a homeless man died while sleeping outdoors at the corner of George Ferguson Way and Gladys Avenue. “We found him the following morning, up against a tree,” said Lowell. She said that hit the volunteers at the Salvation Army hard, as they form relationships with the people they serve. “It’s of great concern, and causes a lot of grief.” The Sally Ann has an outreach team that visits homeless people, bringing them coats, boots, scarves, blankets and hot chocolate, and urging them to come to the emergency shelter. The temperature was expected to dip to -13 C last night (Monday) and -11 C tonight. With icy winds brought by an Arctic front, the wind chill factor is dropping temperatures to
NewsBytes 911 TIED UP OVER HAIR A woman upset about finding a hair in her restaurant meal was the basis for a 911 call Saturday night in Abbotsford. Const. Ian MacDonald, who has heard a tape of the call, said it was not a prank. He said the caller was “dead serious” that the restaurant was not solving the issue to her satisfaction. There was a dispute over how much of the bill she should pay, MacDonald said. When the 911 operator indicated to the woman that her issue was not an emergency, she agreed and the call ended. MacDonald said it was appalling that the woman tied up a 911 line on a busy night, when Abbotsford Police received about 130 calls and handled 53 files.
WAITING TO HEAR FROM TEEN Abbotsford Police are still hoping to hear directly from a teen who left a ministryoperated facility on Oct. 22. Const. Ian MacDonald said, after police issued the plea last week, they were informed that Andrew David Lee Merritt, 15, has been posting online. However, they still have not had contact from Merritt directly. Police have been told that Merritt is possibly in Vancouver and has plans to leave B.C. Anyone with information is asked to call them at 604-859-5225.

A woman whose bulldog was shot and killed Saturday morning said she will file a formal complaint against the two Abbotsford police officers involved. Liza Hills claims she, her boyfriend and a friend were harassed by the officers and that her dog was needlessly shot. “People have to know how the Abbotsford police treat people,” she said. Const. Ian MacDonald, spokesperson for the Abbotsford Police Department (APD), said one of the officers first clubbed the dog to make it back off, and lethal force was used only after that did not work. He said the issue, as in all cases of this nature, is now
at about 10 a.m. Saturday at a home at 2143 Oakridge Crescent. MacDonald said the residence is known to be a problem, resulting in 243 interactions with police in the last five years. There have been 27 interactions since Sept. 1 alone “in and around” the home, he said. These included six incidents involving impaired driving, one involving possession of methamphetamines, two reports of assault and one weapons report, MacDonald added. Hills acknowledged the home has had problems in the past. She said she has lived there only for the last three months after moving out of the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Brian Perlick. On Saturday, Hills said she was doing yardwork while waiting for a friend, Kevin, to return from picking up a load of items, in a borrowed car, from her former apartment. Perlick, who had stayed overnight, was in the house with

on their own. “There are lots of reasons, in their minds, why they don’t come in,” said Lowell. She said police were last year given the au-
thority to bring people to shelter for their own safety, but Lowell said the service providers have no power to keep them there. She said homeless people
will seek the relative warmth of vehicles, instant teller alcoves, or if they are lucky, they can “couch surf ” at the homes of friends. But many stay outdoors. “We check on them every day in this weather.”

Dog lunged at cop From A5
her two English bulldogs – Gacey, 7, and Gacey’s mother, Sadie, 9. Hills said when Kevin returned, police who were in the area approached him and asked to see his driver’s licence and registration. When he couldn’t find the registration for the car, Hills said she ran over to help him look. She said one of the officers pulled her out of the car by her arm, patted her down and checked her pockets, but didn’t find anything. When she tried to pull away, he arrested her and placed her in the back of the police car, she said. Kevin was also arrested and placed in a separate patrol car. Meanwhile, Perlick came out of the house, with the two unleashed dogs following. Hills said when he started yelling about what was happening, one of the officers grabbed him. Gacey ran at the other officer, who clubbed him three times with his baton. Sadie stayed off to the side, barking. Hills said Gacey then lunged at the other officer, who released his grip on Perlick.
Perlick grabbed the dog, but Gacey broke free and was shot by the officer. MacDonald said two shots were fired. Hills said there were three. Gacey collapsed and blood spurted from his head. Hills said she cried and pleaded with the officers for 25 minutes before they uncuffed her and let her run to her dog’s side. She and another friend then rushed Gacey to a veterinary hospital, and he died about 15 minutes later. Hills, who has owned both Gacey and Sadie since they were puppies, said she is devastated by the dog’s death. She was planning to take his body yesterday to be cremated. “He was like my baby.” MacDonald said police check the home on a regular basis because of its history. Hills admitted she is currently serving a six-month conditional sentence for fraud, and police often check to see if she is abiding by her curfew. “There is an expectation from people who pay taxes that they live in a safe neighbourhood,” MacDonald said.

YOU are cordially invited to attend … so OTHERS can be helped! Christmas is about giving and that is why Fountainview Academy Orchestra and Choir are returning to present their gift of music at their 2nd annual Inspirational Christmas concert here in Abbotsford! They need your help to stock the Abbotsford Food Banks’ shelves for Christmas. The students greatly desire to thrill your heart with songs of the Nativity as well as to BENEFIT our community. Last year’s Christmas concert at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium was attended with unprecedented success. The Abbotsford Food Bank was overwhelmed with the tremendous amount of food items donated and money donations given. The students want to support this worthy endeavour again by asking you to donate food items, in lieu of an entrance ticket, to the concert. These food item gifts will be gratefully accepted at the door. This is a FREE concert for ONE and ALL to enjoy while making it possible for those less fortunate to have a blessing during the holiday season. Due to this being a NON - TICKETED event, seating is on a “first come” basis. They have been seen on Canada’s Premier Television Channel, CTV, during the Olympics and also aired on other channels in North America. This young group of musicians have travelled internationally… from the US Capitol in Washington DC, to the Ukraine, Guatemala, Panama, and more.

This energetic passionate youth orchestra and choir will be performing 2 concerts at the New Life Church on Saturday, December 4th. The address is 35270 Delair Rd.
The afternoon concert will begin at 4:00 pm (doors open at 3:20 pm) and the evening concert at 7:00 pm (doors open at 6:20 pm). The afternoon concert gives opportunity for those, like some seniors, who are not able to attend later in the day. They are excited that students from a local Christian high school will be joining them on several musical selections. This will swell the sound as together they celebrate the Yuletide season. Approximately 110 young people ages 15 – 19 yrs old will present this heart warming concert. An alumnus of Fountainview Academy, Sedric Benson, will inspire us with several selections on his violin. After graduating from this high school he completed his Bachelor of Music performance in violin from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. He currently lives and works in Anacortes,WA and loves to bless others with his talents. There will be an opportunity to express thanks to the school as a free will offering will be collected in the concert to help offset their travelling expenses. Their music DVD’s and CD’s will be available for purchase after the concert AND for those loving gift giveaways there will be a draw for a delightful gift basket at the end of each concert. Food items We look forward to seeing you on December 4th. For inquiries call Carmen @ 604-626-0663.

An exploited society The revelation last week that the costs of bringing serial-killer Robert Pickton to justice have topped $100 million should outrage each and every B.C. taxpayer. According to figures released Monday by the Ministry of the Attorney General, the police investigation, trial and costs of apprehending, trying and convicting the serial killer amount to $102.8 million since 2001. And that isn’t counting more than $30 million in RCMP costs picked up by the federal government, or the price of Pickton’s failed appeal to the Supreme Court. The latest figures reveal that we, the taxpayers, forked over $11.7 million to his defence team. To keep him fed, clothed and incarcerated, just to this point, has cost $737,000. Some would say that no price is too high to catch and convict a callous murderer who preyed on some of the most defenseless in our flawed society. There is no question that spending money was necessary. But an RCMP
investigation that cost $70 million, not even counting what the Vancouver Police Department spent – to little apparent effect – in investigating a rash of missing women cases? There has to be a better way, and former attorney general Wally Oppal should be asking some very hard questions in his inquiry of why it took so long to follow up the leads that ultimately led to Pickton’s arrest. What difference could $100 million have made to the budget of any social agency, particularly one tasked with helping the many disadvantaged and marginalized among whom Pickton found his victims? What difference could it have made in crime prevention or health care or education? We’ll never know, because it all went into the destructive vortex created by a single individual who knew, all too horribly well, how to exploit the sins of our society against us. – Black Press
Memories: A path that leads full circle Mark
Rushton On the
Other Hand Leaning against my truck looking at the cabin tucked into a corner of the meadow, I noticed a wistful look in my companion’s eyes. He had not been there for 15 years, yet three decades ago had dedicated a summer helping his friends build it. I could see he was reliving the memories of bygone times when the cabin was a retreat, a place for fun and frolic. “You can’t go back, can you” I said, more a statement than a question. ‘No’ he replied. The cabin still held the memories, but they were made long before career, family and obligations took precedence. And from the look in his eyes, I understood that the little meadow’s corner was where the memories would stay. Life, priorities and age do that to you, and besides, in this day of holiday destinations just a quick airport trip
away, or Whistler accommodations more compelling than a rustic stack of logs, a nine- or 10-hour drive in the middle of winter no longer holds much appeal. The visit was not for nostalgia’s sake but, since we were going to be in the vicinity, at the request of the cabin’s owner to set out bait to help arrest its decline into a rest home for rodents. Mission and personal look-backs in history accomplished, it was on to other topics and among them a decision by us to revive a hobby we shared many years ago. And since I still had a lot of the old stuff, and in the intervening years had acquired much more of the equipment necessary, we decided this winter sometime we would resume our crafting skills at my house. Unfortunately, I also recalled for us to do that would require considerable effort on my part, especially the necessity to rid my basement of years of accumulated, as it turns out previously but no longer valued ‘junk’. Like my friend’s memories, most of the stuff I uncovered during my cleansing over this stretch of cold
weather was either best forgotten or, rather than physical presence, left only to memory. Turned up among the boxes and stacks were innumerable old newspaper clippings, files filled to overflowing with once-important and now completely irrelevant documents and bills and receipts for things long since discarded.
Why on Earth this material was ever saved is beyond me... Why on Earth this material was ever saved is beyond me, but at the time I guess it was at least as significant as the events that took place in a cabin a long time ago and a long way away. I found enough paper to know that, if a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, it is because the recyclers are too busy handling the results of my shredder.
Among the discoveries was a doctoral thesis (not mine) on aging that must have weighed four pounds, most of it unread by me, though considering my age today the topic might be of some import. Regardless, its fate was the blue bag where eventually, like so many other treatises, it may be appropriately recycled as toilet paper. What wasn’t tossed was my vast collection of books which, since the basement flooding of many years ago, have spent considerable time artfully stacked in the front foyer, much to the chagrin of the one who shares my home. That situation has now been resolved. The huge desk in my former ‘home office’ was cleared of accumulations and now is the repository of teetering tomes until, as my to-do list allows, new book shelves are acquired/built. In the meantime, the basement room takes shape in readiness for my buddy and I to rekindle our hobby interest and, while doing it, go full circle to reminisce, recall and regurgitate the memories that started this whole thing.

letters Can’t afford leaders
When politicians complain of being treated with a lack of respect, I suggest they reflect on the cause. It could be the result of their viewing the electorate as simply a source of tax dollars – tax dollars to be frittered away on anything our public servants may desire. It’s particularly galling that we are spending almost half a million dollars this year alone to subsidize a hockey team – a team that when sold will bring taxpayers no return on their investment. And it’s even more galling when we read our city manager’s excuse for this: “we are building a business.” Earth to city hall: “building a business” is not how tax dollars should be spent. We want decent roads, adequate levels of policing and fire protec-
Take lumps now, end Heat deal
tion, and a source of clean water. If we have enough left over to subsidize a private business, that means we have enough to house those sleeping on the streets in this, our “caring” city. And a quick detour back to the clean water. If we have insufficient tax dollars to pay for hooking up to a reliable water source – sufficiently insufficient that we may have to bring in a private partner who will have to make money on supplying taxpayers with the water – we cannot afford to subsidize a private hockey team. Perhaps our local leaders could find another community in which to serve. It’s become apparent that Abbotsford simply can no longer afford those who say they are working in our best interests. Regina Dalton
It would be interesting for the taxpayer to know what portion of the amount of the Abbotsford Heat’s $5.25 million revenue went into the owners’ pockets but, of course, the truth will never be told. We will only be fed more lies in the continuing saga of Plan A. The city would be well advised to terminate this agreement and take their lumps now. There is no doubt that the coming years will only see a repeat of the shortfall in revenue. Dennis Rabel

letters An investment in children
The School District has now closed Dunach Elementary. They stated that “there appears to be little financial benefit to the district for keeping Dunach Elementary operational.� What about the larger picture benefit to children, families and the community? Mayor Peary and the Abbotsford Police are currently presenting Operation Lodestar all over the city to talk about taking a pro-active approach to lowering criminal behaviours and activity in our youth. They discuss the parallel elements of family and gangs. Each provides security, a sense of belonging, a group to identify with, a sense of purpose and rules to follow. Operation Lodestar emphasizes the need for parents and caregivers to take that primary role in partnership with the community. The environment in schools is a vital element to supporting this partnership and small schools are exceptional in this regard. A strong awareness of what compromises our youth and being on the lookout for symptoms is key.
Community schools provide such support and strength to families and their community. Committing to keep these schools open is an investment in our city’s children and youth, both present and future. What costs our government more money, preserving a small school that promotes strong relationships, communication and service to others, or the money that it takes down the road to rebuild broken lives entangled in depression, addictions and crime? What are we doing by closing a tight-knit community school that upholds strong values, meaningful teacher and parental support and full engagement with children and families? This is the preventative environment against increased vulnerability and crime that we need in our educational system. Abbotsford needs more community schools like Dunach Elementary, not less.

The fact that we proceeded with this arena without an anchor tenant in place is an absolute tragedy. To build first and then try to find and negotiate with a prospective tenant is lunacy. We of course would have absolutely no bargaining power with any tenant; i.e. do you want us or not? One other matter that seems to be overlooked is that we the taxpayers only receive the annual $200,000 in ice rent from the Heat when the club makes a profit. We should have stipulated personal guar-
antees from the owners that at least guarantees we receive the $200,000 annually whether or not the club makes a profit. If it takes 10 years for the club to make a profit of at least $200,000 we are foregoing an additional $2 million in revenue from the club. Based on the average attendance already falling below that of the initial year, no doubt the annual subsidy for this year (year two) will be more than the $450,000 we have just paid. Barry Bodell

It was very refreshing to see an article on the new arena incorporate all the details including the annual $4 million in interest payments and amortization costs along with the $2 million we had to pay to cover the first years operating loss on the arena itself. (The operating loss includes $150,000 paid to Global Spectrum to manage the arena). If we include the $450,000 subsidy we are paying to the owners under the revenue guarantee program, our total initial year cost for the taxpayers amounts to $7 million.

Abbotsford-Mission Operation Red Nose, the seasonal designated driver program, is taking its message on the road. A new partnership with Abbotsford-based Big Rig Group has netted the program new road signage and an eye-catching vehicle wrap. Big Rig, located off Sumas Way in Abbotsford, is a commercial vehicle centre. The company, owned by Paul McLeod and Bob Wiebe, designed, produced and installed 20 new 4x4-foot road signs and a full vehicle promotional wrap for a total value of about $3,500. The Honda sedan is now wrapped in red, white and yellow, and features the Operation Red Nose mascot Rudy. Linda Palm, the sedan owner and general manager of PacificSport Fraser Valley, estimates she
Preparing for
WINTER on the ROAD
Hydroplaning Hydroplaning occurs when water on the roadway accumulates in front of a vehicle’s tires faster than the weight of the vehicle can push it out of the way. The water pressure can push the vehicle up on a thin layer of water, essentially breaking the tires’ contact with the road. In a matter of seconds, a driver can lose control and end up swerving out of his or her lane. It is important to follow a few guidelines to prevent hydroplaning. First, keep tires well maintained. Worn-out tread can contribute to hydroplaning, as can inadequately inflated tires. Certain tread patterns are more capable of diverting water away from the tires. Ask a professional about which tire tread to choose. Next, realize that the higher the speed, the higher the propensity to hydroplane. At lower speeds, it is generally rare to hydroplane, unless the water puddles driven through are exceptionally deep. Reduce speeds when it is raining. Also, lighter vehicles are more prone to hydroplaning. Again, if driving a compact or lightweight vehicle, slow down when water is on the road. Should hydroplaning occur, let off the gas and do not apply the brake or turn the wheels. Once the car slows down and retains traction once more, steer and brake accordingly.
How to Drive in Dangerous Conditions Individuals who live in areas of the country where the temperature and weather changes throughout the seasons have to adapt their driving to meet the road conditions. Weatherrelated accidents are some of the most prevalent but can be largely prevented if the proper driving techniques are followed. Some of the more dangerous driving conditions include heavy rain that causes hydroplaning, driving on ice and driving in heavy snow.

A shopping bus is set to roll from downtown Chilliwack to Burnaby for the holidays with stops in Abbotsford and Mission. It’s a test run that started on Friday of a new connector service called Metro Porter, said owner Steve Voteary. It will run weekends in November and December until Christmas during the test period, and possibly more if the market demand exists. Fraser Valley communities have been asking for this kind of transit service for a long time.
“Now’s the time to do it,” he said. The first bus is scheduled to roll out of downtown Chilliwack on Main Street at 9:30 a.m. bound for Burnaby via Abbotsford. It will link up with TransLink at the Metrotown SkyTrain station. Return to Metrotown is $25 per person with one departure per day. Open travel between Chilliwack and Abbotsford is $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors, with service provided every 90 minutes starting Jan. 8.

Stave Lake Water Supply PUBLIC MEETING The Abbotsford-Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) is planning to develop Stave Lake as a new domestic water supply for the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission.
Jeff NAGEL

TransLink recently terminated the president and CEO of its Coast Mountain Bus Co. subsidiary in a move officials say is
designed to chart a new course. Denis Clements leaves the top position at TransLink’s bus transit operation arm, which he held for nine years. He worked at
Preliminary designs have been completed for an in-lake water intake, a shoreline pump station, and a transmission main leading from the pump station towards Mission under Dewdney Trunk Road. The AMWSC seeks public input on the proposed water supply infrastructure. A formal presentation, question and answer period and opportunity for written feedback will be provided.
Coast Mountain for 17 years. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie would not say what precipitated Clements’ removal. Doug Kelsey, who has now been named TransLink chief operating officer, will also serve as president and general manager at Coast Mountain on an interim basis until a replacement for Clements is found, Hardie said. Kelsey had already been doing double duty, serving both as executive vicepresident after a sig-
nificant downsizing of TransLink’s executive ranks a year ago and continuing to run the B.C. Rapid Transit Co. – TransLink’s SkyTrain subsidiary. Hardie said costcutting was not a motivation for removing Clements – whose salary was $280,000. TransLink is now run by six executives, plus five more at Coast Mountain and four more at B.C. Rapid Transit. That’s down from a total of 28 executives across the organization in the fall of 2009.

First Nations centre closes Mission’s national historic site struggling financially
Jason ROESSLE Black Press
Economic woes and shrinking availability of grants have forced temporary closure of Mission’s premier First Nations site. Sto:lo Heritage Trust made the decision Nov. 4 to shut Xa:ytem Interpretive Centre’s doors until spring. In the meantime, according to Leq’a:mel First Nation Chief Alice Thompson, a restructuring is happening but the site will be closed to the public and to educational school tours until the new year. T he national historic site has been “struggling” financially since responsibility for the
Lougheed Highway facility switched from Heritage BC to Sto:lo Heritage Trust in 2004, she said. But it has been the last two fiscal periods, said Thompson — who sits on the heritage trust board — where problems became most evident, especially when requests came from the site management to use line of credit to cover payroll. Being managed by the trust made it more difficult for Xa:ytem to access a wider variety of operational grants that would help the bottom line, Thompson said, adding Sto:lo has contributed approximately $300,000 towards Xa:ytem’s operational budget since 2004.

Bringing the Nutcracker to life Royal City Youth Ballet offers a Christmas classic
Two Abbotsford talents will be in the spotlight as the Royal City Youth Ballet Company brings its full-length performance of The Nutcracker to Abbotsford on Saturday. The performance will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the Abbey Arts Centre. The Royal City Youth Ballet Company presents beautiful sets, extravagant costumes and a cast of young, dedicated dancers, according to the company’s press release. The Nutcracker is one of the group’s favourite shows, and this will be the 22nd season it offers the seasonal classic. Two Abbotsford dancers are part of the cast. Victoria Bonar, 16, takes on the roles of Snowflake, Flower, Big Trepak and the Spanish Understudy. Bonar has been dancing for eight years, and the last seven has been with the Royal City group. Over the years she has danced many of the parts in The Nutcracker, from little bufoon to Clara, and now she takes many of the senior roles. Bonar has attended the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s professional
school, and she won gold, silver and bronze medals at the Dance World Cup in 2007. She also like jazz, contemporary and lyrical dance, and also plays the piano. Jaclyn Hazenberg will appear as the Maid, Big Trepak, Big Mouse and Cavalry. The 18-yearold graduate of Robert Bateman secondary began dancing four years ago with Freestyle Dance Centre in Abbotsford. She has tried everything from tap to contemporary, but ballet has always been her favourite style. This is her first year as part of the Royal City Youth Ballet. In February she danced in the closing ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, as a hiphop performer. Hazenberg works full-time, and in January, will leave for Australia for a year of travel and work abroad. These two will be part of a cast of more than 100 in the show, which tells the Christmas story of a wooden soldier which comes to life, and is set to the music of Peter Tchaikovsky. For tickets to the Nutcracker, call TicketMaster at 604-280-4444.

Local talent in The Foreigner C
EBRATIN L E
15
G
A holiday in peace and quiet was all Charlie had in mind when he turned up at a small-town fishing lodge posing as an “exotic” visitor. He never dreamed that pretending not to understand English would turn him into the locals’ most trusted confidante. Suddenly saddled with secrets, scandals, and sinister plots, the hapless “foreigner” finds himself in a race against time to save the town from its nasty secrets, without betraying his own. Larry Shue’s popular farce, The Foreigner, plays Nov. 23 to Dec. 4 at Trinity Western University in Langley. From love triangles to remote-detonated explosives, the foreigner’s high-jinks in the heart of the Deep South should make for an entertaining night at the theatre. W.J. Mouat grad Cody Friesen, a bright talent in his first year of a theatre and education degree, is loving his role as a sweet-hearted meathead who befriends the foreigner with his clumsy antics. “I’m getting in touch with the redneck inside,” laughs Cody. “Ellard is such a character – he really is easy to love. He takes the foreigner under his wing – explaining, for example, that when ‘fork’ is pronounced by proper Southern folks, it’s a 2-syllable word. But really, the foreigner is teaching Ellard how to believe in himself. He’s proof that when someone gives you a chance to do something amazing, you can surprise everybody. I love that.” Starring Brandon Bate, Alicia Cerny, Cody Friesen, Gwendolen Groen, Ian Hengeveld, Luke Hull, and David Shoffner. Stage managed by Stephanie Priolo, Rachel Bell, and Brittany Gainer. Performances are Tuesday through Saturday for the run. For more information and tickets, visit www. twu.ca/theatre or email theatre@twu.ca.

Certainly slight variations will exist, but as a rule of thumb, most of the plants zoned for your region will take the worst most winters have to offer. If you don’t know
your zone, you can easily find out from a local nursery. From experience, however, I know that no gardener worth her or his salt pays much attention to zones. Virtually all gardeners set out plants they know are not hardy in their region, but they insist that with a little extra protection these plants will survive. There are some techniques that can add a few degrees of hardiness to many plants. Plants growing in very well-drained sandy soil survive the cold with the least amount of damage. Planting all your plants, particularly the softer ones, in well-drained sandy loam is a sure way to toughen them up. The best protection for many plants is a good mulching with fir or hemlock bark mulch or even with sawdust. Mulching makes an incredible difference. It retains critical moisture necessary around the roots and slows down the freezing and thawing process. Roses, in particular, need at least one foot of mulch over their bud union. This will get them through any winter. Immediately after
a cold spell when the temperature is on the rise and the frost is coming out of the ground, it’s essential to get moisture back into our plants. Soak the living daylights out of the foliage of broadleaved plants and thoroughly penetrate the root system with water. Desiccation from cold, drying winter winds is another major problem. As if the severe wind on our poor broadleaved plants, like aucubas, photinias, camellias, rhododendrons and azaleas, is not bad enough, winter sunshine can really burn them. Not only is it important to create wind breaks around our plants, it’s also essential to keep winter sunshine off them. The simplest and easiest way to achieve this is to put three or more strong bamboo stakes around as a tripod and wrap the plant with some of the new nursery insulating material that is easy and quick to apply. In your vegetable garden, simply mulch your root crops and use either Remay cloth or insulating cloth on top of all your plants like beets, swiss chard and hardy lettuce.

Hawks beat elements, Eagles
Dan KINVIG
Abbotsford News
Christmas is still more than a month away, but the carol “Winter Wonderland” would have been a fitting soundtrack for the W.J. Mouat Hawks’ 39-12 high school football playoff victory over the Carson Graham Eagles on Saturday. When the Hawks arrived at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium, they were stunned to find the field blanketed with snow – packed from a day’s worth of playoff games, as much as six inches deep in places.
“We were quite surprised, because there wasn’t much snow in Abbotsford,” Hawks coach Denis Kelly said. “But the kids adapted to the circumstances, and it worked out pretty well.” The game didn’t resemble a classic Mouat speed-fest. Receivers ran their routes gingerly to ensure they wouldn’t fall. Linemen dug their cleats into the tundra prior to the snap to gain some semblance of traction.
Neither the conditions nor the Eagles were able to slow Hawks quarterback Cam Bedore. He generated five touchdowns, running for three and throwing for two more to John Watson and Deion Bain. Luke Friesen also had a big game for Mouat, rushing for 115 yards and a TD on seven carries. Brady Churly had four catches for 82 yards, while linebacker Jake Heathcote recorded eight
tackles and two sacks. The Hawks move on to the provincial AAA semifinals, where they face Vancouver College (Saturday, 8 p.m., UBC). Q The Mouat juniors advanced to the AAA semifinals for the fifth straight year, beating Holy Cross 42-18 last Thursday. They move on to face the Mt. Douglas Rams of Victoria on Thursday (3 p.m., Mouat Field). Q The Robert Bateman juniors saw their season come to an end with a 53-14 loss in Nanaimo to the John Barsby Bulldogs in the AA quarter-finals.
Power outage Bruised, battered Heat struggle in Peoria Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
After a red-hot start to last week’s five-game road trip, the Abbotsford Heat came limping home after sustaining a pair of weekend losses to the Peoria Rivermen. With eight regulars out of the lineup due to injury, the Heat struggled mightily to generate offence against Peoria. They mustered just one goal in the defeats – 2-0 on Friday and 3-1 on Saturday. The power play, coming up empty in 12 opportunities over the two games, was the primary culprit. “When you’re going through what we’re going through (with injuries), you’ve got to simplify things,” Heat head coach Jim Playfair said of the power play, ranked 28th in the AHL with a 10.6 per cent success rate. “We’ve got to do a lot better job getting pucks to the net and getting people to the hard areas.” Equally perturbing to Playfair was his team’s performance on the penalty kill. The Rivermen scored twice on nine power play chances on the weekend, and both goals were the direct result of Heat turnovers.

Greg Nemisz and the Abbotsford Heat stumbled on the weekend, dropping two games in Peoria, Ill. “We had pucks on our sticks that we didn’t clear 200 feet down the ice, and they ended up in the back of our net,” Playfair said. “Those are situations that are really consistent with us not being calm enough, mature enough.” The road trip yielded two more casualties, as Carter Bancks (shoulder) and Gaelan Patterson (knee) joined Cam Cunning (shoulder), Mitch Wahl (lower body), John Negrin (knee), Matt Pelech (shoulder), Ryley Grantham (ankle) and Kris Chucko (neck/
head) on the lengthy list of the wounded. Playfair spoke with the team doctors on Monday morning, and said there’s a strong chance both Bancks and Patterson will be back in time for a Friday-Saturday home set with the Manitoba Moose, the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate. Despite their struggles in Peoria, the Heat still managed a solid 2-2-0-1 record on the trip. Their 24 points are second-most in the AHL’s North Division.
MEI v-ballers win Fraser Valleys Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
With the provincial championships fast approaching, the Mennonite Educational Institute senior boys volleyball team is clicking on all cylinders. The Eagles served notice of that on Friday, as they clinched the Fraser Valley AA title with a dominant straightsets win over Langley Fundamental. “Our team came together and really showed what we’re capable of,” Eagles coach Jeff Stel said. “Everybody came and played a role in that game.” The Eagles beat Surrey Christian in the semifinals to set up the date with Langley Fundamental in the title game. MEI setter Tyler Koslowsky earned Fraser Valley tournament MVP honours, while Jeremy Lieuwen and Connor Nickel were named to the all-star team. The Eagles advance to the provincial championships at UBC-Okanagan in Kelowna in two weeks’ time. MEI has won seven B.C. titles in the past eight seasons, and they head in ranked No. 2 among AA teams in the province. Vernon’s W.L. Seaton holds the No. 1 ranking after beating the Eagles at a tournament in late October.

Pilots snap losing streak
One night after an epic collapse on home ice, the Abbotsford Pilots got back on track on the road. The local junior B hockey club snapped a season-high three-game losing streak on Saturday, hammering the Ridge Meadows Flames 6-2 at Planet Ice. The victory represented a nice bounce-back effort after a third-period implosion cost the Pilots in a 6-5 loss to the North Delta Devils on Friday night at MSA Arena. The Pilots had dominated the first 40 minutes of that game, and led 4-2 with 15 minutes left in regulation. But the Devils exploded for

Hadwin falls short at Q-School Adam Hadwin's dream of playing regularly on the PGA Tour will have to wait at least one more year. The Abbotsford golfer finished tied for 55th at the second-stage qualifying school stop at Bayonet Course in Seaside, Calif. last week. Hadwin shot 71-73-73-74 to finish at three over par, nine strokes back of the top 19 (plus ties) who advanced to the third and final stage of Q-School. Hadwin, who sits second on the Canadian Tour's order of merit, earned his first CanTour victory earlier this month at the Desert Dunes Classic.

Cascade hoopsters host WolfPack this weekend
From A25
On Saturday, a 28-9 deficit after the first quarter proved too much for the UFV men to overcome. Zeon Gray, with 26 points, led a rally that drew the Cascades to within 10 points in the fourth quarter. The Cascade basketball teams both sit at 2-6 heading into a Friday-Saturday home set against the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack at the Envision Athletic Centre.

What’s Interesting: Touring edition has a 16.2 inch Rear Entertainment System that is most versatile, because it can simultaneously show two different sources of programming side-by-side, such as a video game and a movie. The two programs being played can be easily switched from side to side using a button near the screen, so the viewers don’t have to change seats.
All new for 2011 the fourth-generation Honda Odyssey fulfills the needs of modern families and has improved on an already incredible package. With class-leading fuel economy, incredible innovations, and a textbook worth of smart new features, it’s hard not to love the Odyssey for its brains.

Odyssey Touring model rates a class-leading 28 mpg The completely redesigned Odyssey improves for 2011 with greater interior functionality, a more distinctive style and higher fuel economy. Across all available models — the Odyssey LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and now, the new Touring Elite — more than 50 standard and available features have been added for 2011 to enhance comfort, convenience, efficiency and travel fun. “The all-new Odyssey is set to once again redefine the minivan segment as the ultimate family vehicle,” said Erik Berkman, vice president of Corporate Planning and Logistics for American Honda. “Never before has so much space, functionality and comfort been combined with this much style, technology and fuel economy.” Significant enhancements to the interior include a new “3-mode” second-row seat design that is more comfortable for center passengers (Odyssey EX and above). The 2011 Odyssey is equipped with a total of five LATCH attachment points (four in the Odyssey LX), the most of any vehicle currently available on the market as of 2011 (up from three in the previous model). The one-motion, 60/40 split 3rd-row Magic Seat®, one of the Odyssey’s original concepts and most versatile features, is positioned for more legroom and is even easier to operate for 2011. Dramatic new styling creates a more dynamic appearance unlike any other minivan with the introduction of a tapered cabin and a signature “lightning bolt” belt line. The lightning bolt belt line improves the outward view for third-row passengers. The body’s enhanced aerodynamic shape along with engineering improvements throughout the vehicle contribute to a class-leading EPA highway fuel-economy rating of 28 milesper- gallon (mpg) on Odyssey Touring models, an improvement of 3 mpg compared to the 2010 Odyssey Touring model and the most for any eight-passenger minivan.
A more powerful and efficient 3.5-liter i-VTEC V-6 engine features Variable Cylinder Management (standard on all models for 2011) and produces 248 hp (+4 hp over 2010) while delivering an EPA-estimated city/highway/combined fuel economy of 19/28/22 mpg on Odyssey Touring models (18/27/21 mpg on Odyssey LX, EX and EX-L models). For enhanced driving refinement on Odyssey Touring models, a six-speed automatic transmission debuts as a standard feature. All other models receive the five-speed automatic transmission. New technology available on certain models includes a rear entertainment system with a 16.2-inch ultrawide splitscreen display and an auxiliary High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) video input, an “intelligent” MultiInformation Display (i-MID) with customizable wallpaper, integration of FM traffic data on navigation models and much more. Thoughtful features have been added throughout like the available cool box, front bag hook, available flip-up trash bag ring and more. Popular features like the available back-up camera and available conversation mirror continue to be offered. An extensive list of safety equipment comes standard on every Odyssey. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. Additional standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), commonly referred to as electronic stability control; anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist; threerow side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor; driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); dual-stage, multiplethreshold front airbags; and active front seat head restraints.

Naturally gifted Rookie Brodie making an impact DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS
Over the past couple months, Heat head coach Jim Playfair has grown fond of referring to rookie centre Mitch Wahl as “Cool Hand Luke,” a nod to the Californian’s unÅappable demeanor. If classic movies are Playfair’s compass when picking nicknames, allow us to submit “The Natural” for T.J. Brodie. At just 20 years of age, the rookie defenceman still has a ways to go before he’s a full-time NHLer. But given how quickly Brodie’s taken to the pro game in his Ärst go-around, it’s a Ätting handle. Brodie was a training camp sensation with the Calgary Flames this fall, tying Jarome Iginla for the team lead in the preseason with four goals, and he stunned many observers by cracking the NHL club out of camp. After three games in which he failed to register a point and posted a minus-3 rating, the Flames decided Brodie could use more seasoning in the AHL.
But Brodie didn’t interpret the demotion to Abbotsford as a setback. Coming into training camp, his primary motivation was to impress the Flames brass sufÄciently that they’d allow him to stick with the Heat this season – he was still eligible to be sent back to the OHL’s Barrie Colts for one more year of junior hockey. “It seemed like the game just came a little easier than I expected it too,” Brodie said, reÅecting on his sometimes-spectacular transition to the pro ranks. “My main focus this fall was getting here (to Abbotsford). Obviously I wanted to do well in Calgary, but I exceeded the expectations I had for myself. It was a great experience.” For some players, improvement is incremental, but Brodie’s growth has been obvious on a game-to-game basis since he joined the Heat. In his Ärst home game in Abbotsford on Oct. 25, Rochester Americans forward Evgeny Dadonov gave Brodie the turnstile treatment on his way to scoring the game-tying goal with just over a minute remaining in the third period. The Heat ended up winning that game in overtime, but Brodie’s gaffe was an enduring image. But as the Heat’s eight-game homestand wore on, Brodie’s superior speed and vision quickly became apparent. Forecheckers were Continued on page 9

Young team fun to work with E H T
H C N E B
In each edition of the Abbotsford News’s FACEOFF magazine, Abbotsford Heat head coach Jim Playfair sits down with beat reporter Dan Kinvig to give fans the inside scoop on the team. For future editions of FACEOFF, fans are invited to pose their own questions to Playfair. Submit your questions for consideration via e-mail to sports@abbynews.com, or via Twitter to @dankinvigsports. We caught up with Playfair via phone last week, prior to a pair of weekend road games against the Peoria Rivermen.
Jim PLAYFAIR
Q
Q
A
Jim, I deÄnitely get the sense that you’re having a lot of fun working with this young team. Is that fair to say?
A“Yeah. When you look at what the
team and the organization is trying to accomplish, it’s exciting to have young guys step up and take up more of a role within the structure of the game. And I think they’ve done a good job of that. We’re in a situation now where with the amount of young kids we’re playing, people may not have expected that many young kids to be playing at this point in the sea-
24 points in 19 games. So we’ve reached that target. Obviously our penalty killing (ranked 28th) and our power play (ranked 27th) have to be a lot better, and I think that’s going to come with getting some key players back. We’ve got some guys out right now who can make our power play and penalty kill more dangerous. “We’ve done a lot of good things, and there are areas where we can get a lot better, and that’s where our focus is – becoming more consistent. We lead the league in (fewest) shots against, and we take pride in that. We want to get a lot more shots on net – we need to be No. 1 in the league in that area.”
son. I think that’s been important.”
Q
A
One of the positive trends for the team this year is discipline. Last season the Heat led the AHL in penalty minutes per game, but this year you’re 27th in the league. What do you attribute that to?
“Younger players. The biggest thing is, they’re willing to skate and compete and lot harder. When you get an older group and they make a mistake, they try to recover that ice with their stick – hooking and holding. I thought we’ve done a much better job as a team of not taking those lazy, recovery-ice penalties. We’ve taken some aggressive penalties, but not as many of those lazy ones. That’s been the big difference.” I know you break down the season, for evaluation purposes, into 10game segments. We’re 19 games in – which areas are you encouraged about, and which are the biggest areas for growth?
“We try to get 12 points each segment, and we’re already at
Q A
As far as the injuries go, is it a little bit of déjà vu right now, after all the man games you lost last season?
“Yeah, but it is what it is. With injuries, there’s not much you can say or do about them. [Chuckles] What can you do? All you can really do is keep moving onward and upward. By Christmas, we should be a lot healthier.”

Q A
At the moment, you’re tied for the AHL goal-scoring lead with seven, but you haven’t got an assist yet. What’s going on? “I don’t know! [Laughs] I guess I’ll get one whenever Cunner (Cam Cunning) or Army (John Armstrong) want to put it in after I give them the puck. We’ve had some chances, and it’s weird. But I’d rather be at seven goals and zero assists, than zero goals and seven assists.” (Editor’s note: Keith would later pick up his Ärst assist on a goal by Cunning. As of press deadline, he had nine goals and three assists in 19 games.)

If you weren’t a pro hockey player, what line of work do you think you’d be in? “When I was younger, I always thought I’d like to get into teaching. I like kids, and I’d like to do something in athletics. I’m going to look into taking online courses and stuff this year. This summer, I talked to a family friend who’s a counsellor to just try to get some ideas of what to do when I’m done hockey. But I think teaching would interest me.”
Q Do you have a pregame superstition? A “Not really. If I have a good game the game before, I try to do things the
same – driving the same way to the rink, eat the same pregame meal. But once I get to the rink, there’s nothing too drastic.”
How does the fundraiser work? It's simple! During the month of November, stay home and read a book instead of going out — then donate the money you saved to YOUR Libraries!
Giving is easy!
“[Laughs] Local landmark in Aldergrove? I don’t know if there are any. Actually, the Greater Vancouver Zoo would probably be the place. We used to go on school Äeld trips there when I was younger. So I’d probably pick the zoo or the Aldergrove Arena. I’ve had some good memories there.”
familiar faces all the time is a big bonus, I think. I get to see my family and friends more than a lot of guys on the team, but once the season starts, everything’s really consumed with hockey and with the team. So in some ways, it’s the same as when I played other places. But when we get off a road trip, I get to go home, and that’s nice.”

Abbotsford Heat players, like all AHLers, are just one step away from the NHL. We asked three of them to recall their first game in the Big Show. How did you get the news you had been called up to the NHL?
When you talk to people about your first NHL game, what’s the story you tell?

FEB. 24, 2004 Chicago Blackhawks at Philadelphia Flyers
“I was with the Norfolk Admirals, and I’d lost a tooth . . . I was on my way to the dentist when the GM called and asked what I was doing. I said, ‘Going to the dentist.’ He said, ‘You can get that tooth Äxed, or you can get your gear and jump on a plane because you’re playing (in the NHL) tonight. I almost crashed my car.”
“The whole day was kind of a whirlwind. The (Norfolk) trainer had taped up three brand new sticks for me, and the older guys on the team had taken the sticks and replaced them with broken ones. When got to Philadelphia, no one could Änd me because I was outside with my sticks, panicking.”
“There were names out th LeClair, Mark Alexei Zhamn pretty neat.”
NOV. 5, 2007 Calgary Flames at Colorado Avalanche
“I actually thought I was getting in trouble, becaus I’d been called into (Quad City Flames coach) Ryan McGill’s ofÄce. But he told me I was going to go up (to the Flames) and Curtis McElhinney was going to come down for a few games.”
“I got in for nine minutes in the third period of a blowout in Colorado. Kipper (Miikka Kiprusoff) got scored on, and (Flames coach) Mike Keenan said to me, ‘Do you want to go in?’ I looked at him, and I said, ‘Pardon?’ And he says, ‘GET IN THE NET!’ So I threw my gear on.”
“I’ve got the sheet at hom wall, and peo pretty impres got to play ag Sakic. That w exciting for m
OCT. 7, 2010 Calgary Flames at Edmonton Oilers
“They never really came up and said that I’d made the starting roster (out of training camp). I just realized all the other guys had been sent down. It was pretty exciting, and it was a dream come true. Hopefully I’ll get back up there.”
“They (the Oilers) scored shorthanded after I pinched down (from the point). It was sort of a bad play by me, and it was Jordan Eberle’s Ärst NHL goal, too. It’s a little bit of a disappointing story, I guess, but it happens. It was still a good experience.”

Brodie a quick study From A3
left grasping at air. Teammates found seeing-eye passes on their tape. Four nights after being burned by Dadonov, Brodie set up two goals in a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Admirals. On Nov. 6 against the San Antonio Rampage, he drew oohs and aahs on a spectacular play to set up Keith Seabrook for a goal. On a Heat power play, Brodie made a Drew Doughtyesque spin at the blue line to keep the puck in the offensive zone against pressure, then Äred a cross-ice pass to Seabrook, who wired a shot past San Antonio goalie Matt Climie. Through his Ärst 14 games with the Heat, Brodie has one goal, eight assists and an impressive +7 rating. “With T.J., you can sense quickly his ability to skate and carry the puck,” Heat head coach Jim Playfair acknowledged. “The real development part for him is his defensive ability. He needs to get on the right side of puck battles and be aware of what’s happening around and behind him. It’s just the details that go into defending.” Brodie’s early success is no surprise to Heat forward Bryan Cameron, one of Brodie’s OHL teammates in Barrie last season.

Tuesday, November 23, 2010
“He’s just a natural athlete,” Cameron said. “He’s the kind of guy who, when he faces tougher opponents or plays with better guys, he just elevates his game even more. “He just knows where guys are on the ice. He’s not afraid to make a highrisk play, and when he does, it’s usually in the back of the other team’s net.” Brodie lived with a billet family during his junior hockey days, and part of his development curve as a Ärst-year pro is learning to live on his own. He’s sharing an apartment with fellow rookies Cameron and Greg Nemisz and second-year defenceman John Negrin. “It’s kind of different – you don’t have as much time to relax,” Brodie said. “You’ve got to cook or clean up, stuff like that. “We split the cooking. One guy will cook the meat up on the barbecue, another guy will make the side – potatoes or rice or something.” One of the quirky aspects of Brodie’s early-season tenure in Calgary was the fact he wore No. 66. It’s a number that’s only been worn by four other players in NHL history: former Canucks enforcer Gino Odjick, exPhiladelphia Flyer Yanick Dupre, former Washington Capitals centre Milan Novy . . . and most notably, Pittsburgh
Penguins superstar Mario Lemieux. Some Penguins fans, in fact, were incensed to see Brodie, a baby-faced rookie, wearing a number synonymous with Lemieux. A Facebook group, with 122 members at last count, sprung up to petition Brodie to give up No. 66 and have it retired league-wide in Lemieux’s honour. “I hope T.J. Brodie trips on a banana peel and breaks his nose,” one Facebook user wrote. Brodie, for his part, had no input in picking his number. He had it handed to him at rookie camp two summers prior – low numbers are reserved for the NHL veterans, and the young guys get the high numbers. When he made the Flames in the fall, it was easier for the training staff not to change the number on his helmet and jersey. As for all the venom coming out of Pittsburgh via the Internet, all Brodie could do was chuckle. “Obviously I could see where they were coming from,” he said. “Most people are just having fun with it, joking around. But at the same time, there’s some people that are actually pretty upset about it. “You’ve just got to forget about it. You can’t let it bother you or distract you from your play.”

Last year, the Heat reeled off 21 wins away from the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, which gave the Ärst year club a top-Äve record in the AHL away from home ice. This season, Abbotsford Heat head coach Jim Playfair has the youngest team in the league, which makes the task even more daunting. But Playfair is conÄdent in his youthful squad. “This group of players is without question the closest knit, tight group of players that I have ever coached,” marveled Playfair. “But as coaches, we have to realize that they are a young team and re-emphasize what we need to do to be successful.” “One of the nice things about this group,” Playfair continued, “is the fact that they have all been well coached, whether in the Canadian Hockey League or NCAA, these players are aware of what is expected. It makes coaching them and seeing their successes very rewarding for us as coaches.” At the time of this writing, the Heat were about to play their 10th road game and had a record of 6-2-0-1 in their Ärst nine showings away from home. At that pace, they would get to 25 road wins,
a number that would be near the top league-wide. “You had better learn how to win on the road during the season,” cautioned Playfair. “If you wait until the playoffs to learn how to win on the road, you’re dead.” So how come the success on the road? How can it be converted into

wins at home as well? The answer, says the coach, is to keep it simple. “Sometimes there is no question that we think we are better than we are, but that’s human nature,” Playfair said. “The key is to know what our strengths are as a team and to focus on that. Forechecking hard, shots on goal and driving the net are important to our overall success, but so is playing smart defence.

AS OUR
IF YOUR TIRE IS AS S
We make “things” look good... REAL good...
“Our team, as cliché as it is to say, needs to stick with the plan the entire game for us to be successful. It seems that we have a tough time doing that at home. Whether it is because the players put more pressure on themselves to perform at home is irrelevant. Learning to win in any building, but especially at home, is crucial.” So how do you do it? Asked if he could have one thing to win at home, Playfair was blunt. “This building has to be the toughest building for our opposition to play in… they have to dread coming here,” he said. “Our team needs to punish them for being here, and our fans need to punish them for visiting our building.” When asked about the chants against an opponent at a recent game, Playfair nodded and said, “Our fans are as knowledgeable as any fans in the AHL. We rely on them to have our backs when the chips are down. Our players feed off of it and bring more to the table. It’s a win-win.” Let’s hope that the Heat can keep the win-winning going!

Ian Fisher - age 32, season ticket holder Q What’s your favourite thing about coming to a Heat game?
A“The action, and the fact that it’s a good price. It reminds
me of when I was a kid, going to Vancouver Canadiens (minor league baseball) games. It was cool to see players before they made the major leagues.”
MEET the HEAT
fan
Q Which baseball players did you get to see before they made the majors?
A“Sammy Sosa was probably the most notable one.” Q How do you support the Heat? A“I’m probably the loudest person in the house. If you hear someone yelling ‘Go Heat Go’ randomly, it’s probably me.”
Q Who’s your favourite Heat player? A“That’s a tough call. I’d say J.D. Watt, probably. If
he can continue with his disciplined play, I think he could make it to the NHL. I’ve met him a few times, and he’s a pretty nice guy. He’s deÄnitely a tough guy. Other than that, Keith Seabrook for his name value, and he’s a good defenceman.”
